It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

How sad is this?

Great Film overall

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tone, Script & Story: I like the movies which teach us something. The movies which give us something to think about. In short increasing our knowledge base, putting something in our think tank. Armageddon is sci-fi. It portrays a phenomenon that can occur in future. A phenomenon that might have been the reason humans exist and dinosaurs don't, on planet earth.The story puts light how a group of miners dig through an asteriod and avoid it from crashing into earth. It does not end here, in the process of portraying a film that saves us from another mass extinction it puts light on human values like love, emotions, sacrifice, heroism and the list goes on. Thus it has got all factors required for a good movie.Final Verdict: It has got something to impart knowledge into your think tank. It is worth adding to your collection.

After discovering that an asteroid the size of Texas is going to impact Earth in less than a month, NASA recruits a misfit team of deep core drillers to save the planet.The real mystery surrounding this film is how it got released by the Criterion Collection. Both this film and Michael Bay's "The Rock" received the Criterion treatment at one time. And while both are very enjoyable films, do they really belong with Criterion? I feel that by merely being released by them, there is an added importance stamped on the film.But as far as guilty pleasures go, this is a fun and entertaining film. I could do without the romance angle, but the idea of blowing up an asteroid before it hits earth (which assumes a lot of questionable science) is just classic science fiction, here given more legitimacy and budget than ever before.

Armageddon is a Deep Impact-like movie where an asteroid is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth after a meteor shower destroys a space shuttle and hits New York City. The asteroid is big enough that if it hits Earth, it will kill all life. Oil rig drillers are asked to fly to the asteroid and drill a hole in it and plant a bomb to blow it up. They blow it into two pieces which don't hit the Earth. This is a great movie in that the special effects are very good and it's very fun and intense. It opens with a depiction of an impact that is thought to have killed the dinosaurs and a narrator commenting on that. One of the top few best scenes and maybe the best scene is where Paris is hit by a meteorite and is destroyed in a huge explosion.

it's a first movie in Hollywood in which i see all phases of human life . like from sci-fi action to comedy , emotional to love scene . an epic movie which i love to watch more and more times .
